I've been doing this strategy for 24 years and I'm still waiting for it to start working.
IMHO it's because Step 2 (Blue No Matter Who) tolerates corruption, which loses moderates. There's a stable equilibrium between steps 2 and 3.
Nope it's because step 2. Vote in non presidential elections as well. Isn't being followed. As well as not following step 3. Stop whining about the Democrats we have, run as one of the Democrats we need. There are a ton of state and local offices Republicans win unopposed. I bet if we started consistently running and funding solid left candidates to run against the Republicans as Democrats. Take advantage of the Democrat parties resources. We could accidentally start winning. Even primarying neoliberals. The DSA is doing it in some places.
